It would be absolutely ridiculous to have 3 strike groups over there, but repositioning the Ford to the South makes me think they're not preparing to come home.

Iran is the same size as Alaska, and has 92 million people. A commitment to ground troops would mean a terrifyingly long war with millions of casualties.
U.S. Central Command, meanwhile, is asking the Pentagon to send more military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days but likely through September, according to a notification obtained by POLITICO. It’s the first known call for additional intelligence personnel for the Iran war by the administration, and a sign the Pentagon is already allocating funding for operations that may stretch long beyond President Donald Trump’s initial four-week timeline for the conflict. The rush to add people and resources to support efforts that are often organized well in advance of U.S. military action highlights how the Trump team had not fully anticipated the wide fallout of the war it launched alongside Israel on Saturday. “What we’ve seen is a completely ad hoc operation where it appeared that nobody actually understood or believed that military action was imminent,” said Gerald Feierstein, a former senior U.S. diplomat who dealt with the Middle East. “It seems like they woke up on Saturday morning and decided that they were going to start a war.”
So this 4 day operation will last until at least September. Shocking. No one could have anticipated this.

Let's go Panther City!!
An Army Reservist Major with almost no real leadership experience is leading the more powerful military in the world against a country with nothing to lose.
This is insanity.
I resent having to compartmentalize and ignore the atrocities happening at home so I can be terrified for my husband's safety in the Middle East.
Fuck Trump
How much more can you punish a country you've already committed to destroying? Especially when you are only using airstrikes.
It isn't uncommon for commanders to send out "motivational" messages like this. This one in particular is very meh though and I can only imagine the eyerolls from the active duty recipients.
The lack of Oxford Comma in this is painful.
Fire reported at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh following a blast, two sources tell Reuters.
One friendly fire incident is an accident.
Two is coincidence.
Three is ridiculous.
Three on the same day is just incompetence.
$94 million each to replace these aircraft.
I am very happy to say that all the crew members survived.
of course he's not worried about anything. He's sitting at the beach in Florida, has embezzled enough federal funds to not care about to cost of gas, and none of his family members are in the military.
Tweet from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on March 1, 2026 at 0949 EST: CENTCOM Update TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury. Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing. The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.
When you're sending out those hot takes and sarcastic comments, remember that by and large the US military is filled with 18 year olds who had very few options. Most of them did not enlist to go kill people. They enlisted to get out of poverty, to have health insurance for the first time.
Casualties in Pakistan as protesters there storm the US Consulate in Karachi.
24 hours in and the US created even more chaos in a tense region of the world.
The people in charge of the USA truly believe that unlike every other one in history, THIS war in the Middle East will be a quick and easy victory.
The stupidity is legitimately impressive.
I hope Crockett wins bc the chance of some dumb Texans voting for her in November just because she has the same name as Davey is definitely higher than zero.
The tide is turning though. My very traditionally conservative Southern Baptist grandmother in a Texas suburb has said she doesn't like what is happening, and she'll be voting Blue.
How many other "real" conservatives feel the same? Probably a good handful.

*pulls history book off the shelf*
I'd like to turn to literally any page, where we can see that there is, in fact, a chance.
It sickens me that the United States is a country where people like this guard believe that they can treat other humans like this without repercussion.
The US doesn't produce a lot of it anymore. No war, no need.
I thought they didn't support us attacking Iran...
Unrelated, but how soon do you think Spanberger calls a special election for the VA 98th to replace Knight?
And morally.
I appreciate how quickly this has become a meme.
umm, which court is higher than the Supreme one?
This is absolutely terrifying timing. I have no faith in Trump to be rational about Iran this weekend with this news.
Footnote #2 is the sickest burn this week.
"Counsel for Petitioner will note that he can somehow manage to file documents through CM/ECF himself without the resources and might of the Federal Government behind him."
Team Hucklerobby is never wrong.
